तेष्वनीकेषु यत्तिषु व्यूकेषु च विधानत: । दुर्योधनो महाराज दुःशासनमथाब्रवीत्
teṣv anīkeṣu yattiṣu vyūḍheṣu ca vidhānataḥ | duryodhano mahārāja duḥśāsanam athābravīt ||
Sañjaya disse: Quando todas as divisões dos exércitos foram devidamente dispostas em suas formações prescritas, o rei Duryodhana então se dirigiu a Duḥśāsana.

Educational Q&A
Even when actions follow established rules (vidhānataḥ), ethical responsibility remains with leaders; lawful procedure in war does not by itself guarantee righteousness of purpose.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that both sides’ forces have taken their positions in formal battle formations, and at that moment Duryodhana turns to speak to his brother Duḥśāsana.
